Bioventing Pilot Test Work Plan for Spill Site Number 1, Building 457 Area, and UST 702

Abstract

This work plan presents the scope of a multiphase bioventing pilot test for in situ treatment of fuel-contaminated soils at Spill Site No. 1, Building 457 Area, and underground storage tank (UST) 702, at Eaker Air Force Base (AFB) (the Base), near the city of Blytheville, Arkansas. The pilot test will be performed by Parsons Engineering Science, Inc. (Parsons ES) formerly Engineering- Science, Inc. (ES). The primary objectives of the proposed pilot tests are: 1) to assess the potential for supplying oxygen throughout the contaminated soil interval; 2) to determine the rate at which indigenous microorganisms will degrade fuel when supplied with oxygen-rich soil gas; 3) to evaluate the potential for sustaining these rates of biodegradation until fuel contamination is remediated to concentrations below regulatory standards; and 4) to determine design parameters, such as well spacing and flow rates, for full-scale bioventing system design.
